Close-Reading Questions 1. The lava lake inside the volcano is extremely hot (about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit). It bubbles violently and shoots specks of molten rock. Deadly fumes surround the lava lake. The volcano erupts frequently; it erupted just a month after Sam Cossman’s trip. 2. They used drones to take photos and videos of the lava lake. Drones got closer to the lava lake than a human could. Using drones, the team was able to avoid gas clouds and capture clear images. 3. Cossman’s team brought back lava samples for scientists to study. Also, their photos and videos were used to create a 3-D model of the volcano. These enable scientists to study the volcano without actually visiting it. 4. The author mentions this to help readers visualize what a lava lake is and understand how it forms. A lava lake forms when magma boils near the surface, like water in a pot, instead of shooting out in a big eruption. 5. Answers will vary. Students should cite evidence from the article to support their opinions.
